Applications
There are two stages to the application process. Applicants for the three year BA (Hons) Acting should:
Download the Application Form, fill it out and send it directly to ALRA.
Apply online through UCAS by logging onto www.ucas.co.uk
ALRA Institution code: A42 BA (Hons) Acting course code: W410
Please note: Applications are not valid until both parts of the process have been completed
Application Deadline
Please note – we continue to accept applications after the 15th January UCAS deadline and applicants must still apply via UCAS after this date, in addition to submitting the ALRA application form and audition fee. Applications are accepted up until the last available audition, although you are advised to submit your application by mid-May.
Deferred Entry Please note that we are unable to consider applications for deferred entry to any of the Acting courses.
International Applicants
ALRA welcomes applications from international candidates whose written and spoken English is of a level appropriate to professional acting training. International applicants are advised to ensure that their visa adequately covers the duration of the course applied for.
Please note overseas candidates must audition in person as we do not accept video auditions.
Selection
Before we are able to offer candidates a place on the BA (Hons) Acting, the MA Professional Acting, Foundation Acting or the Acting for Deaf BSL Users we will ask you to attend an audition in order to asses your potential to undertake professional training. Our courses are extremely demanding and call for substantial levels of talent and reserves of stamina. It is our responsibility to select students who we feel will be able to respond most effectively to these demands. ALRA aims to ensure that applicants enjoy all aspects of the audition process and feel stretched by it. Applicants will be auditioned in depth and given every opportunity to show their skills.
Auditions for the BA (Hons) Acting and the MA Professional Acting take place on weekdays throughout the academic year at our London base. In addition, ALRA audition once a year in Manchester and Edinburgh, normally in Jan/Feb. Please contact Admissions for exact dates and venues.
